Humiliated by my mother-in-law, I married into a wealthy family with my son four years later

Chapter 157 This is not fair

Chen Hao smiled, "Dad, I'm really not familiar with this project, and I'm used to being free and easy. How can I have so much energy to take care of these things?"

"You!" Su Zeqi was speechless for a moment.

Su Heng looked at Chen Hao, then at Su Zeqi, "Okay, I'll take three days off. If Chen Hao can do well enough in these three days, he will follow up on this project." After saying that, he prepared to leave.

Jiang Man held his hand tightly, "Why?" she asked in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her in shock.

She cleared her throat and raised her head. "If Ah Heng made a mistake on this project, it is only natural for him to give way. But he has always taken this cooperation seriously. Why should he give way? This is unfair." This was the first time she called him like this in front of everyone. Su Heng's eyes fell gently on her thin shoulders.

Su Zeqi narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman seriously for the first time.

He turned his head and glanced at Lu Ziyin, who understood and cleared her throat. "Ms. Jiang, I think you misunderstood. This is a decision made by the chairman and me. I think the chairman's opinion on cooperation with Huamei is consistent with mine, so I would like to try to cooperate with the chairman."

"Besides, I think someone from a lower-level department shouldn't meddle in other people's business." He spoke slowly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, looking directly at Jiang Man.

Jiang Man gritted her teeth and looked at Su Heng. She suddenly realized that all this was caused by her.

She glanced at Lu Ziyin, her eyes full of disappointment, "I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds." She apologized, her eyes slightly red.

Su Heng frowned and was about to speak, but Jiang Man held his hand tightly and whispered, "Let's go."

Su Heng looked at her deeply and clenched his fists.

Chen Hao still looked nonchalant. "Since Mr. Lu is so kind to me, I will naturally give it my all for the next three days. However," he changed the subject, "I'm used to being free, so after three days, I'll leave it to my eldest brother."

"Chen Hao." Su Zeqi looked at his son with a frown on his face.

"Dad, if everything is fine, I'll leave first." Chen Hao smiled at Su Zeqi and turned to leave.

Looking at Chen Hao's indifferent look towards fame and fortune, Su Zeqi couldn't help but sigh.

Staring at the two people standing on either side of the door frame, his tone cooled a bit, "Why are you still standing here? Isn't it your vacation time?"

As soon as these words came out, a hint of coldness flashed in Su Heng's eyes when he looked at him. After sneering, he dragged Jiang Man away.

Stopping at the elevator entrance, Su Heng glanced at Jiang Man with a reproachful tone, "Who told you to follow me?"

Jiang Man was stunned. He had never expected him to be so aggressive. "I myself."

"Yourself? Have you forgotten that you are just an ordinary employee?" His words were as harsh as ice.

Hearing this, Jiang Man's nose felt sore and he leaned forward slightly, "I'm sorry."

Looking at her aggrieved expression, Su Heng sighed and held her in his arms, "I don't blame you. You have to be careful these days. Don't let him find your flaws when I'm not around. Take care of yourself." His voice became much softer, and the previous harshness disappeared.

Jiang Man nodded slightly.

Su Heng stared at her and gently pinched her cheek, "Don't be like a punching bag. Don't fight back when you're bullied."

"I didn't." Jiang Man defended himself in a low voice, his eyes still red.

Su Heng didn't say anything more, but patted her head and said, "Go back to work. Just pretend you don't know what's going on here."

"Yeah." Jiang Man nodded again without saying much, because she knew the situation here very well and she was powerless to change it.

Back in the marketing department, gossip was written all over everyone's face.

Discussions arose one after another.

Jiang Man returned to his seat, picked up his phone, edited a short message and sent it to Lu Ziyin.

All this started because of her, and hopefully it will end with her.

"This time, it's all thanks to Mr. Lu for asking for help." Su Zeqi filled a glass of red wine and handed it to Lu Ziyin.

Lu Ziyin took the wine glass, glanced at his phone, and a clear arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"No, I think your approach, President Su, is more in line with Huamei's style." He took a sip of red wine. "However, this cooperation was indeed signed through a subsidiary. Will it affect the progress?"

"No." Su Zeqi nodded to assure him, "To tell you the truth, it was indeed my poor parenting that made such a joke in front of Mr. Lu."

"Haha." Lu Ziyin laughed. "It's natural to have opinions, but..." He changed the subject, "It's indeed against the rules to privately sign the cooperation agreement to a subsidiary."

"But I think President Su also has good intentions and wants to support the subsidiary companies more."

As soon as these words were spoken, even the dullest person understood the meaning. Su Zeqi naturally heard that Lu Ziyin was mocking him for having no power and being manipulated by his son.

His expression was stern, "I thought so too."

Lu Ziyin looked at his watch and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll go back to the company first." He picked up the suit on the sofa and left in a hurry.

Su Zeqi narrowed his eyes, feeling as if he were dancing with wolves.

Until the end of the get off work day, Jiang Man still did not receive a reply from Lu Ziyin.

She checked the watch on her wrist.

He stood up and whispered to Xiao Zheng, "I have something else to do. I'll leave first. Please keep an eye on it for me."

After saying that, she left anxiously without waiting for Xiao Zheng's response.

When Jiang Man arrived at Huamei, people were walking out one after another.

She walked to the front desk and asked if Lu Ziyin had left.

But the receptionist seemed to know her and greeted her, "Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Man nodded.

"Mr. Lu said that if you come, you can go directly up to him."

Jiang Man paused. He was sure that she would come to find him. She looked at the elevator, feeling uneasy.

Soon, Jiang Man arrived at Huamei's president's office.

She knocked on the door and a muffled "Come in" came from inside.

She opened the door and walked in.

The whole room was filled with the smell of tobacco. She waved her fingers in front of her nose, obviously not used to it.

"When did you start smoking?" She hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

Lu Ziyin flicked the ash from his cigarette and looked at her with a confused look in his eyes. "I learned it after you left."

Hearing this, Jiang Man bit his lower lip, not knowing how to respond.

After a moment of silence.

Jiang Man spoke again, "If you're angry and want revenge, just come to me directly. Can you please not involve Su Heng?"

Her words cooled Lu Ziyin's gaze again. He lowered his eyes and smiled, "You came here just for him? Do you care about him a lot?"

Jiang Man was stunned and shook his head gently, "I was wrong in the past, and I don't want you to make things difficult for him because of this."
